Deep in December, the year has grown old The days have grown dark and the nights have turned cold And the hurts that we harbor, the debts that we owe Are sleeping down under a blanket of snow
It covers the grasses, the bench in the park The scars in the earth where man's made his mark And high in the sky there's an unearthly glow Like a miracle sent to delight us below
And all our cares seem immaterial Beneath a light so ethereal As if all our wrongs could be made right Oh darling, under the northern lights
We wound and we're wounded by the tiniest acts We run from our ghosts and we cover our tracks And we try to make up for mistakes that we've made With presents and parties and Christmas parades
But I'm tired of the running, I'm taking my leave And the fire's burning low on this cold Christmas Eve All that I have is this evening to spend All that I want is to hold you again
To linger awhile in the mystery To know the gift that's been given me Just to lie beside you this Christmas night Oh darling, under the northern lightsTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
